What is more fun than a hike with your pup? Not much! We are looking for other dog owners (and dogs) who share an affinity for nature and hiking. The rest we will figure out as we go.

Are you looking for an opportunity to take your Golden or Labrador (or other retriever) hiking and swimming, while burning off energy and hanging out with other Retrievers owners? This is the group for you! We will have occasional hikes that provide an opportunity for the dogs to swim, run through the woods and roll around in smelly things! If there's sufficient interest, maybe we'll meet at a dog park or find other dog-related activities.

This is a hiking group for men to get away from the daily grind and out into nature at least once a month.

By around 7 pm everyone is back with their families, happy and content.
